The Tsavo National Park is by far the best place to see the big five (lions, leopards, elephants, rhinoceros and buffalo), as well as a collection of diverse flora and fauna including zebras, marabou storks and yellow baboons. One of Kenya’s most stunning landscapes is the enchanting Amboseli national park - which is home to hundreds of elephants set against the stunning backdrop of Africa’s snow-capped Mt Kilimanjaro. Maasai Mara is a large, mostly dry game reserve well known for its high numbers of Wildebeest that migrate from the Serengeti to the Mara reserve every year. A wonderful way to experience the reserve is by hot air balloon safari - most magical when taken in the evening to watch both the wildlife grazing below and the heart-stopping beauty of the fierce red sunset above.

Kenya has a stunning collection of fresh water lakes but by far our favourite is the Lake Nakuru, which while beautiful, is made all the more enchanting by the flamboyances of yellow beaked, deep pink flamingos that can be seen feeding throughout the water. Lake Naviasha in the Rift Valley, is another good option. The banks of the lake are grassy and framed by cacti and olive trees, while the water itself is teeming with wildlife - from the ears of hippos peaking out to the banks, to small water birds flying from the lake to nearby trees hanging over the water.

On the flip side to all of this natural beauty, cities like Nairobi can be dangerous but do offer an interesting collection of cafes and restaurants for those who want to explore Kenya’s urban face. Overlooking the city is the Nairobi National Park, which is one of very few places in the world where its possible to see the heads of Giraffes framed by a distant backdrop of skyscrapers and planes coming in to land.

North of Nairobi is the Aberdare national park, which is deeply picturesque and full of steep forested ravines and beautiful open moorlands. The park has all the usual suspects including elephants, black rhinos and leopards, as well as things like olive baboons, black and white colobus monkeys, bongos and African civet cats. Those that enjoy exploring more mountainous terrain however, should head to the UNESCO-listed Mount Kenya National Park, most of which is 3000 metres above the contour line.
